How to become Rich

In a small town there was a person, Mr. Smith, who had gone from rags to riches. He was well known, admired by some, and somewhat mysterious in his ways. The local newspaper reporter got an interview appointment with him. The purpose of the interview was to find out how he became so rich and successful.

He showed up in the evening at his house for the interview. After they had made small talk they decided to settle down for the interview. The rich man said "this will take a few hours, so you sit down while I go turn the rest of the lights off, as we do not need them".

The reporter, a smart fellow, says "Mr. Smith, I think I got an idea on how you became rich already".

Moral of the story.

You must save some of what you earn. You will earn all of what you save.
